Every once in a while I write music for existing films; Films that moved me and left something behind. This is the case for this music, "The Gate". When I close my eyes and stop thinking about the world-outside, this music opens the doors of the Inugami Palace for me. It is evening but there is still light; the surface of the lake reveals the presence of a gentle wind, caressing its waters. But the mild scenery is only an illusion. In fact, a different and stronger agitation can be felt in the air, anticipating unexpected and dramatic events. It's "The Inugami Family," by Ichikawa Kon.
Wonderful reddit post pointing out something Mingus wrote in 1955... "It seems so hard for some of us to grow up mentally just enough to realize that there are other persons of flesh and bone, just like us, on this great, big earth..."
One of my favourite what if Miles stayed in a certain period albums is 'The Anti-Social Club' by Alan Pasqua.
It is In a Silent Way meets more bite. It has Cline, Amendola, Acuna, Haislip, Akinmusire and Jeff Elwood on saxophone. (What a lineup! Rich Breen mix is beautiful as well)
@MarkedByVander@jazz Good call. How about this one: “London Brew” is a group of 12 London based artists: Benji B, Raven Bush, Theon Cross, Nubya Garcia, Tom Herbert, Shabaka Hutchings, Nikolaj Torp Larsen, Dave Okumu, Nick Ramm, Dan See, Tom Skinner and Martin Terefe. The group came together for a three-day recording session at The Church Studios in London in December 2020 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Bitches Brew.
